TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ALBERT L. BABCOOK, of New Haven, in the county ofNew Haven, and State of Connec .tieut, have invented a new improvementin the Construction of Gar-Seat Arms; and I do hereby declare thefollowing, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, andthe letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, and'which said drawings constitute'a part ofthis specification, and represent, inv Figure 1, an inside view.

Figure 2, an edge view; and in Figure 3, an outside view.

My invention relates to an'improvement in the construction of that partof the arm which serves as the pivot for reversing the scat. Heretoforethis has been made by forming the shank in aseparatepiece from the arm,and attaching the shank to the arm, and. riveting or welding the twotogether. To simplify this process, and form the arm and shank from oneand the same piece of metal, is the object of my invention, whereby alarge portion of the cost of manufacture is saved, and the articlemanufactured far superior to the article heretofore produced; and thatothers may be enabled to construct my improved arm, I will proceed todescribe my manner of so doing.

A is the arm, B the shank, required to be formed with a projection, 11,therefrom. As an article of manufacture this portion of the arm isproduced about as shown in the drawings, and is in this formpurchased'by the consumers, and welded on to other metal to complete thearm. I form this piece with the shank solid thereon, in a die preparedfor the purpose, the projection 01 extending down to the arm, as denotedin red, fig.

2, forming a rib on-the shank. I then, by a tool prepared for thepurpose, cut away that portion of the said rib denoted in red, fig. 2,leaving only the projection cl, which finishes the article for market,and is thus pro! dn ccd, as will be readily seen, at a much less cost,and much superior to that heretofore produced.

Having therefore thus fully described my invention, what I claim as newand useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

- The seat arm herein described as an improved article of manufacture.
